Fourth Raadsaal, Parliament building in Bloemfontein, South Africa.

The Fourth Raadsaal features late 19th-century Victorian architecture with ornate details and a clock tower on President Brand Street.

Construction began in 1890 under architect Lennox Canning, and the building served as the legislative assembly for the Orange Free State Republic.

The main assembly hall preserves original woodwork and furnishings from the 1890s, representing South African legislative architectural heritage.

The Fourth Raadsaal functions as the meeting location for the Free State Provincial Legislature and offers guided tours for visitors.

During the Second Anglo-Boer War in 1900, the building transformed into a military hospital when British forces occupied Bloemfontein.
